There really is no need or benefit to going above 3.500VPC / 14.0V as the chemistry will settle to 3.400VPC +/- 0.050V pending if there is load or if allowed to settle without.
Remember the difference between "Allowable Voltage Range (2.500-3.650)" compared to "Working Voltage Range (3.000-3.400) which can be safely extended to (2.800-3.400)" volts per cell.
A "Surface" charge where Amps Taken remain high will not provide full saturation to that Voltage Level. If you charge to 14.0V and the amps drop to <5A then the cells are "saturated" to that voltage and you get everything back out. Without that Full saturation, its like driving on a 1/2 full tires while hoping for great mileage (never gonna happen).
